the proxy interface is really bad...anyway --proxy-pac-url command option
works for me

 Hi,

 I am using chromium with KDE, and whenever I open Chromium proxy
 settings, I get KDE proxy settings. I have already enabled my KDE proxy
 settings, so the proxy should work right?

 But it doesn't. I can browse using the proxy through rekonq browser. So,
 the settings are apparently working fine. It is the chromium browser that
 is causing the problem. Any solutions?

Oh, thanks.  Reading into the man pages of Chromium (did not know they 
had one!). It seems there are a host of options, --proxy-server is 
another for example. Shouldn't it be atleast on the wiki? That the proxy 
settings do not work well? 

So, I added the information in the trouble shooting section of the wiki 
on chromium. This is my first time contribution to any wiki, so I would 
be glad if someone could just check if it is okay.

  There was an issue with some earlier chrome versions and changes made
in kde. This may or may not be your issue.

  Please check the file:

   ~/.kde4/share/config/kioslaverc

 And make sure that the proxy port only has a colon between the host and
the port num. At some point kde made them spaces and chrome broke. Kde
could have broke too I don't know :-)

  SAldo, it seems kde provides a file but no API to read the file - kind
of a poor design.

  Anyway hand edit the file so it looks more like

   httpProxy=http://proxy.foo.com:3128

etc.

Well you are correct, there is indeed a space. But KDE apps are not 
broken.

I did that, makes no difference. Actually, I have a SOCKS5 proxy, so my 
line instead changes to 

socksProxy=SOCKS5://localhost:7546

If i do that, then chrome connections fails because it cannot connect to 
the proxy properly. Anything else is ignored by chrome and it switched 
to direct connection (which is dangerous, there should at least be a 
warning that the proxy is not being used.) 

Anyway, the proxy url is the same url which I use when I use the --
proxy-server option and again, even after edit, the KDE application are 
working fine and process the proxy correctly and use it.

The --proxy-server option is working perfectly fine for now.
